Elogio del algoritmo

El propósito del libro es proporcionar diferentes caracterizaciones a los conceptos más importantes que comprende un curso de Cálculo Diferencial, como son el de derivada, límite, función, etc., que se considera pueden mejorar el entendimiento de los estudiantes. Se plantea el concepto de función desde nociones cercanas a ésta, como son las de variable, variación y variabilidad, sin dejar de lado sus significados ya conocidos de fórmula, dependencia, modelo, gráfica, etc. Para el concepto de límite se ha agregado a sus definiciones comunes la noción de tolerancia que se usa...

Pedro Nunes played a major part in the discovery of the world by Portuguese mariners. In this book, his mathematical and scientific achievements are described, together with evidence on his life and friends arising from a collection of his Greek and Latin poems, and from religious notes he composed during his later years. An English version of his long-lost Portuguese algebra is included, as well as poems and letters by his friends translated into English for the first time. These discoveries came from a manuscript recently found in the municipal library of Evora, the perfectly preserved...

This book presents conventions, mathematical concepts, definitions and applications central to the geometric modeling of solids, shells and wires (engineering jargon) embedded in 3D space. Currently, software is available for geometric modeling of technical or natural scenarios. However, the models built frequently fail in supporting the subsequent engineering computing and simulations. Only after repeated iterations and re-design, the models permit engineering / science simulations. This book endows the reader with the basic mathematical concepts needed to ensure that the geometric models...
